The Empire of the Seven Kingdoms of Shabandra is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by High Warden Azain Noctis XIX with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 13.811 billion Shabandranitians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hemlock. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shabandranitian economy, worth a remarkable 3,095 trillion Onyx Crownes a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 224,155 Onyx Crownes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmental legislation occurs cyclically, teenage boys are raving about how the latest AI assistant sounds exactly like a sexy movie star, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, and ruff times are ahead for those who aren't keen on party costumes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shabandra's national animal is the Flying Buck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Eternal Loom.

Shabandra is ranked 209,236^th in the world and 96^th in The Wellspring for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.79 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
